The title is a clever, witty song which has been called “Is this the best Elvis-themed song since Kirsty MacColl" by BBC London's Ian Wade.
The Blackjacks mix together Rockabilly, Skiffle, Rock 'n' Roll and Country to create a style that is both authentic and original enough for British Rock 'n' Roll legend Marty Wilde to say of them; “They sound like the bands did in the old days. The energy of the band resonates through the tracks.”

After struggling with to repeat chart success with their follow-ups, they finally scored with the controversial I Shot Mr. Lee three years later, and notched up further hits with Have Mercy Baby, Dance With Me Georgie, Mr Johnny Q and I Don’t Like It Like That.
Between 1957 and 1962 the Bobettes recorded prolifically for eight different record labels. We Shot Mr Lee collection gathers thirty of their finest original recordings, plus bonus track Loop De Loop - a million seller for Johnny Thurder on which The Bobbette feature as backing singers.
